Hawk Boy’s JV got their 11th straight win after catching the *rabbit and game, 44-36 over Boerne JV.

CLJV is now 4-0 in District 28-4A play and will start the 2nd round next week when they travel to Hondo.

Mike Miller Time on the Court in Win over Boerne 

The Hawks beat the Greyhounds to the rabbit as Canyon Lake had to work out of a 22-17 deficit in starting the 2nd half.

This game was won in the 3rd quarter when the Hawks raced out with a, 19-5 advantage. Offense and Defense was on a grand scale as everything in this 3rd quarter went like clock work.

Starters and the bench were on the same page as foul trouble did not deter the resolve this Hawk team that has one goal and that is finishing this year with a 15 game winning streak.

During that second half blitz, Zach Taliaferro had a nifty no-look perfect pass to Anthony Zavala for a high octane points that put the crowd in hyper speed.

Canyon Lake finds ‘It’ in win over Boerne, 63-56 at the Hawk Nest, as this game finished the first round of District 28-4A contests. CL stands all alone in 2nd place and now will work on bigger goals as this season continues.

“That was awesome,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman started. “I am proud of the guys…our team executed and competed for the majority of the game and that was the most emotion this year.”

Coach Chapman studied hard for this game and the fruits of that labor tasted good.

“Boerne was constantly playing catch-up and we really prepared for it as the kids were locked in,” Chapman said excitedly. “They executed the scouting report….especially on defense.”

CL Hawks JV win 10th game in a row over Bandera as the Lake’s Defense took center stage in grinding out this win, 33-26.

“We did not hit our shots,” Head JV Coach Hooper said. “We grinded out a win and sometimes it is not pretty but we will take it.”

Spoken like a Dad of the 7 ugly ducklings while trying to put make-up on those Hawks.

Rory Preiss has 8th straight game with double digit scoring

Canyon Lake beat Bandera and now enjoys a 2-1 District 28-4A record as they wait for a State Ranked Boerne team on next Friday.

The Hawks did not look sharp in this win but there were times not to long ago that CL’s basketball team would have taken any type of victory in district play.

“We played with great effort and energy,” Head Coach Lucas Chapman said. “Our defense was ok but we had too many turnovers and too many missed shots.”

But a win is a win and that will have to suffice even when the team is not playing at their peak level.

With these two district wins, Canyon Lake has already tied or beaten 5 other Hawk years in Basketball lore for victories in district play.

This conquest tied last year’s total and the next win, Canyon Lake, will be tied with the all-time best win total in Hawk history at 14. The 2008-09 Hawk team stood with that total in the Hawks 2nd year of play.

Basketball Coach Lucas Chapman

The ReSporter: How do you find that magic potion in getting consistency from your players?

Coach Chapman: “We just have to continue to talk about it and emphasize it. It’s about trying to do all the little things each and everyday. Those little things make the big things happen. If you don’t do a good job of taking care of the little things, then the wins and successes don’t come. We just have to stay with the process.”

The ReSporter: This group of Seniors will have a chance of being the first to have a chance to make the playoffs, what has separated this group from the past teams?

Canyon Lake fell flat in loss to Fredericksburg, 56-34, as the Hawks will go back to work this Friday when Bandera comes to town.

Alternative Pest Control says          Go Hawks

Fredericksburg beat Bandera, 73-22 giving the Hawks a bragging point in that they scored 12 points more than the Bulldogs.

Not what most teams need to be contemplating but CL had a chance to have a win that they could point to in giving them some stature. That game will have to wait a while longer.

Rory Preiss was the only Hawk to get into double digit scoring with 11 points and leading the team accounting for 8 rebounds.

Preiss has averaged 14 points in his past 7 games where he has reached double digit points consecutively.

Not much else to see hear as Canyon Lake will need to forget this game quickly as a 34 point game will not instill much confidence in this offense.

This week’s Friday game will be broadcast on the CLB network and you can get linked up on this site if you are wanting to hear or see how Canyon Lake will respond after this loss.

Go Hawks!!

Canyon Lake has had a 3rd quarter just like the one the Hawks administered to Hondo on Friday after beating the Owls, 56-41 for their first district win.

On Tuesday of this week, Canyon Lake came out of their halftime locker room down just two points against Wimberley, 25-23 and then proceeded to hand over the keys to their car to the Texans after suffering a 17 point downfall and eventual loss during that 3rd quarter game.

This time, Canyon Lake found that they could administer that same type of pain to Hondo by outscoring the Owls 18 points and turning a 3 point deficit to a 15 point advantage to open the second half.
